What a surprise

It would appear that police officers put a group of illegal immigrants on a train, gave each of them free tickets and told them to make their way to a detention centre 80 miles away under their own steam. Unsurprisingly, none of the nine reported to the centre and all nine disappeared on their journey from Cambridge to Croydon. The police have defended their actions, claiming they were only acting on the advice of immigration officials and the decision was out of their hands.
